2066 год, Нигерия. Роузуотер — город, построенный вокруг Звезды Полынь. Такое прозвище получил огромный инопланетный объект, доступ к которому преграждает биокупол, непроницаемый для человеческих технологий. Его прибытие изменило Землю: в воздухе теперь парят ксеноспоры, человечество начинает меняться, а США стали закрытой зоной, уйдя в полную изоляцию. В Роузуотере собираются ученые, военные и представители почти всех стран мира, а также отчаявшиеся и смертельно больные люди. Кто-то из них хочет заглянуть за непреодолимую стену. Кто-то жаждет исцеления, ведь Полынь способна вылечить любую болезнь на свете и даже оживить мертвых. Все ждут, что иная жизнь, наконец, ответит на многочисленные вопросы людей. Но она молчит. Кааро — правительственный агент с криминальным прошлым. Он — последний человек, который был внутри биокупола, и возвращаться туда не желает. Но когда что-то начинает убивать таких же агентов, как он, Кааро приходится лицом к лицу столкнуться с собственной мрачной историей и понять, что контакт с внеземным разумом может произойти вне зависимости от нашего желания.

2067 год. Роузуотер, город, выстроенный вокруг инопланетного купола, прозванного Звездой Полынь. Теперь у него есть новый харизматичный мэр, Джек Жак, и он объявляет Роузуотер свободным государством, независимым от Нигерии. Но с инопланетной жизнью последнее время творится что-то странное, ведь даже у самых могущественных существ есть свои враги. А в тихом пригороде проcыпается обыкновенная женщина. Вот только она все забыла о себе, а ее новые воспоминания принадлежат чему-то древнему и совершенно чужому. И возможно именно в ней кроется ключ к спасению человечества, а может, и его окончательная погибель.

A tense and thrilling vision of humanity's future in the chilling emptiness of space from rising giant in science fiction, Arthur C. Clarke Award winner Tade Thompson

The colony ship Ragtime docks in the Lagos system, having traveled light-years to bring one thousand sleeping souls to a new home among the stars. But when first mate Michelle Campion rouses, she discovers some of the sleepers will never wake.

Answering Campion's distress call, investigator Rasheed Fin is tasked with finding out who is responsible for these deaths. Soon a sinister mystery unfolds aboard the gigantic vessel, one that will have repercussions for the entire system--from the scheming politicians of Lagos station, to the colony planet Bloodroot, to other far-flung systems, and indeed to Earth itself.

"[I]nventive, exciting and compulsively readable...This book is like the Tardis, larger inside than out, with a range of ideas, characters, and fascinating future settings making it probably the best science fiction novel of the year." --The Guardian

Who was Molly Southbourne? What did she leave behind?
A burnt-out basement. A name stained in blood. Bodies that remember murder, one of them left alive. A set of rules that no longer apply.
Molly Southbourne is alive. If she wants to survive, she'll need to run, hide, and be ready to fight. There are people who remember her, who know what she is and what she's done. Some want her alive, some want her dead, and all hold a piece to the puzzles in her head. Can Molly escape them, or will she confront the bloody history that made her?

Victor Frankenstein is the first to unlock the key to life, but not the last.
Over two centuries of relentless advancement, five more minds find the secret, and five more creatures are made. Five more stories end in tragedy. From the stinking streets of 1850s London to the sun-drenched hysteria of a modern cruise liner, amidst passion, jealousy, art, obsession, desperation and war, Creatures is a hidden history of a forbidden science.

For as long as Molly Southbourne can remember, she's been watching herself die. Whenever she bleeds, another molly is born, identical to her in every way and intent on her destruction.

Molly knows every way to kill herself, but she also knows that as long as she survives she'll be hunted. No matter how well she follows the rules, eventually the mollys will find her. Can Molly find a way to stop the tide of blood, or will she meet her end at the hand of a girl who looks just like her?

Meet Weston Kogi, a London supermarket security guard. He returns to his West African home country for his aunt’s funeral. He sees his family, his ex-girlfriend, Nana, his old school mate, Church. Food is good, beer is plentiful, and telling people he works as a big-time London homicide detective seems like harmless hyperbole, until he wakes up in hell.

He is kidnapped and forced by two separate rebel factions to investigate the murder of a local hero, Papa Busi. The solution may set the country ablaze in civil war. Making Wolf is an outrageous, frightening, violent, and sometimes surreal experience of a lifetime. They say you can never go home again. Weston Kogi and the country of his birth may very well pay the ultimate price for his doing exactly that.
